Core Insights - Ridgeline Minerals Corp. has announced assay results and drilling updates for its Big Blue and Atlas projects, highlighting high-grade mineralization in the Big Blue project [1][2][3] Big Blue Project - The Big Blue project includes three core holes totaling 2,072 meters, targeting induced polarization (IP) geophysical anomalies for high-grade copper-gold skarn and porphyry targets [3] - A significant intercept was reported in hole BB25-003, which returned 0.6 meters grading 0.7% Cu, 3,194 g/t Ag, and 2.6% W, equivalent to 35.3% copper equivalent, starting at a depth of 675.7 meters [4][5] - The Delker Mine corridor, which is part of the Big Blue project, shows high-grade mineralization extending over 500 meters beneath the historic mine and remains open for further exploration [2][4] Atlas Project - The Atlas project involved two core holes totaling 551 meters, aimed at testing for oxide gold mineralization within Pennsylvanian to Permian age limestones and conglomerates [6][18] - Initial results indicate potential for gold mineralization similar to the nearby Dark Star deposit, with observed Carlin-Type alteration and oxide mineralization down to approximately 200 meters [8][18] Future Exploration Plans - The company plans to continue drilling across its other projects, including Selena, Swift, and Black Ridge, with funding secured from partners for the latter three projects [2][19] - The exploration strategy will be refined based on the new drill data, particularly for the Ohio target, which has shown high-grade rock chip samples [5][6]
